Project Summaries

Markham District Energy

Partner: Markham District Energy

Industry: Power Generation

Location: Markham, Ontario, Canada

Pond and Markham District Energy will partner to develop a nutraceutical algae production facility to produce astaxanthin, as well as powdered chlorella and spirulina. The facility will safely and effectively transform the greenhouse gas emissions from this power plant into algae superfoods.

Phase 1

Size: 200,000 litres

Output Capacity: 100 tonnes of algae

Carbon Sequestered: 183 tonnes CO2 per year

Stelco

Partner: Stelco

Industry: Steel Manufacturing

Location: Nanticoke, Ontario, Canada

Pond and Stelco are partnering to develop a facility to produce algae for use as an aquaculture feed ingredient, displacing fishmeal and fish oil. The facility will both transform the greenhouse gas emissions into fish feed and reduce fishing pressure on the ocean.

Phase 1

Size: 35,000 L with a target of 1,000,000 L in later phases

Output Capacity: 6,750 kg of algae

Carbon Sequestered: 13.125 tonnes CO2 per year

St. Marys Cement

Partner: Votorantim North America

Industry: Cement Manufacturing

Location: St. Marys, Ontario, Canada

Pond, St Marys and the National Research Council of Canada have been operating a demonstration algae plant since 2017. This facility proves that greenhouse gas emission can be transformed into valuable products, and has been operating for over a year.
